The Chevy Volt (or what others call the GM Volt), the plug-in car of the future is expected to get at least 230 miles per gallon in city driving according to General Motors.

However, there are several things you must take note of:

• The Volt can only travel up to 40 miles in a single charge
• The maximum range will be 300 miles together with its fuel engine
• The Volt should be plugged in once a day
• Gas free mileage will depend on cargo, travel distance, air-condition usage and number of people in the car

Though its shortcomings, this is a very big leap for automotive technology (at least commercially…). Hopefully this car and other cars that follow suit will help reduce our carbon footprint and thus help the environment.
